The Lions are in a tough spot at receiver right now, with starter Nate Burleson out several weeks with a broken forearm and Patrick Edwards out the past two weeks with a high ankle sprain -- an injury that could nag him for several weeks yet.

In the fourth quarter, he grabbed a 22-yarder and 24-yarder in the span of three plays to set up a David Akers field goal, Detroit's final points of the day.

"We usually put (Calvin Johnson) in the slot, but we switched it just to put me up there for a different look," Durham said. "I saw the middle open up and Matthew (Stafford) saw me, so we had that little connection there on that one.

"Got us down the field, got us into field-goal range which actually helped us out a lot."
